The sustainability of Reconstruction and Development Programme Houses : 2004 to 2006 : a case study of Litchis Bay, East London

  • Authors: Balani, Thobeka Virginia

  • Description: The South African government has endeavored to provide settlement to citizens and policies have been formulated since 1994 to guide these efforts. The South African Constitution (1996, section 26) stated that everyone has the right to have access to adequate housing. Furthermore the African National Congress’s Freedom Charter (1955) made it clear that: “there shall be houses, security and comfort for all, everybody shall have the right to live where they choose, to be decently housed, and to bring up their families in comfort and security. Slums shall be demolished and new suburbs built, where all shall have transport, roads, lights, playing fields, crèches and social centers”. However, after 19 years of democracy the state of housing is still a critical issue that addresses whether development has served to further the cause of sustainable development with respect to the pillars of human settlement such as shelter, infrastructure and economic opportunities. The study was conducted in the Litchis Bay settlement in East London, Eastern Cape Province. Mixed approaches of quantitative and qualitative methods were used to solicit data. Random Sampling techniques were conducted to select the sample population. Data was captured on Excel sheets to generate graphs. Findings of the study and conclusions were drawn. Therefore when measuring the term ‘sustainable human settlement’ against the findings on RDP houses in Litchis Bay, one can conclude that sustainable human settlement is not fully absorbed in defining the sustainability of RDP houses in Litchis Bay. Moreover the majority of houses have defects, and social amenities are not easily accessible.

Tribological characteristics of polymers under high force small oscillating angular contact

  • Authors: Bradfield, Jarad Wade
  • Subjects: Tribology , Polymers.
  • Language: English
  • Type: Thesis , Masters , MTech (Mechanical Engineering)
  • Identifier: vital:9637 , http://hdl.handle.net/10948/d1020598
  • Description: This study was intended to establish which polymer material is best suited as the material for bushes used in high force small oscillating angular contact applications as typically found in a large sugar mill coupling. A Tribometer as well as a designed and manufactured Bearing Testing Machine, which simulates and accelerates the wear caused in the intended application, was used to determine the wear rates and coefficients of friction for seven polymer materials. Materials were selected for their superior mechanical and thermal properties. The Tribometer was fitted with a linear reciprocating rig, so as to simulate the small oscillating movement prevalent in the intended application. Each Tribometer test ran for a duration of two hours with a frequency of 33.1 Herts and a normal loading of 40N. Bearing Testing Machine tests were done under similar constraints but with 30kN loading present on the surface of a bushes inner race. These tests had a longer duration of 24 or 48 hours or until intense wearing occurred. Initially both testing methods will be analysed independently of each other in order to try and identify a relationship between the wear rate and coefficient of friction for the different polymers. The different testing methods’ results will be compared to each other in order to establish if a correlation between the materials tested could be found.

Two decades of curriculum transformation: what have we learnt and where do we go from here?

  • Authors: Blignaut, Sylvan
  • Subjects: Curriculum change -- South Africa , Education -- South Africa , f-sa
  • Language: English
  • Type: text , Lectures
  • Identifier: http://hdl.handle.net/10948/16076 , vital:28318
  • Description: In this lecture, I will revisit the implementation of a new curriculum in South Africa’s schooling system and provide a brief overview of why curriculum change is so complex and fraught with difficulties. I will argue that an important reason for the failure of curriculum implementation could be ascribed to a relative neglect by policymakers of “teacher landscapes” or the beliefs teachers have about teaching. I will argue that it “matters what teachers think and do” and if policymakers do not take account of this reality, successful curriculum implementation will remain a challenge.
